Conway Board of Guardians. THE POOR LAW CONFERENCE. MR. RAYNES AND THE WHISKY. The Chairman (Mr. William Williams) pro- sided over the monthlv meeting of the Guardians at Conway on Friday, the other members pre- sent being Mrs. Oldman (Vice-Chairman), Mrs. B. C. Jones, Mrs. Jones (Gyffin), Miss Lewis, Miss Champneys, Miss Williams, Rev. W. Phillips, Messrs. P. 11. McClement, O. W. Ro- berts, William Davies, Hugh Davies, J. W. Raynes, Ed ward Williams, A. J. Oldman, John Williams (Mayor), John Lowell, Thomas Ro- berts, Edward Jones, David Jones, Thomas Wil- liams, Richard Tones, Owen Williams, W. F. Jones, Hugh Owen, R. Ellis, and Robt. Roberts with the Clerk (Mr. T. E. Parry), the Deputy Clerk (Mr. J. W. Post) and the other officers. THE POOR LAW CONFERENCE. The deputy Clerk narded each member a printed report of the proceedings of the North Wales Poor Law Conference at Welfhpool. The 'Chairman stated that Mr. Oldman and himself attended the meetings, and on the Wednesday morning, the question of where the Conference should be held next year was brought forward, and Rhyl 'and Conway were mentioned. After consultation with Mr. Old- man, he invited the Conference to hold its meetings at Conway next year, and extended the invitation on behalf of the Board. The Con- ference accepted the invitation. He did not know whether the Board approved of their action. He suggested that the report of the last proceedings and this matter be placed on the agenda for the next meeting. Mr. Raynes Do I understand that you invited the Conference to Conway with or without the consent of the Board? The Chairman Yes, we did. Mr. Raynes: That is hardly the thing. (Laughter.) Mr. A. J. Oldman explained that it appeared that all districts in North Wales had had their turn, and now it came to the Conway Union. The Secretary of the Conference intimated to the delegates that Mr. William Williams (the Chair- man) had consented' to the meetings being held in the Conway Union, and trusted that it might be a successful function. Mr. Raynes said that if the majority of the Board threw it out, he understood there would be no conference, although the conference had been invited. It was a little premature. Mr. O. W. Roberts moved that they support the action of the Chairman, and ratify the in- vitation to the Conference. Mr. Thomas Williams seconded. Mr. Raynes said the proposition was out of order as the matter was not on the agenda. Mr. Oldman supported the proposition. So far as the Union was concerned, there was no expense; but there was a certain amount of sociability which was usually defrayed by means of subscriptions, and he had never yet believed that the Conway Guardians would play second fiddle to any other Union in North Wales. With reference to the second portion of the motion, there was no need to further discuss the matter until June next. Mr. O. W. Roberts was quite agreeable to delete the second portion. In reply to Mr. William Davies, Mr. Oldman said they could comfortably do it on a ten pound note. Mr. Raynes thought that before actually ex tending the invitation to the Conference, s )r;)e arrangements should be made for, the delegates' entertainment. The proposition was then put to the meeting, and carried. Mr. Raynes: I suppose we as a Board will have to entertain the Conference to lunch, etc. The Chairman Yes, we have to do that. Mr. Raynes: I suppose its a temperance party. (Laughter.) The Chairman That rests with you. Every- body must drink as they like. Mr. Raynes Don't you know how much they spent in whisky at the last Conference? The Chairman Yes, I do. Mr. Old-nan I think Mr. Raynes is poking fun. I did not see any whisky there at all. The Chairman I didn't see whisky either. Mr. Oldman But there was a certain amount of other liquid disposed of, but the question of providing any drink will be left entirely to the Board later on. Mr. Raynes I think Mr. Oldman is wrong in saying that there was no whisky drunk there. I have it on good authority that £ 8 was spent on whisky. The Chairman: No, it was champagne. (Loud iaughter.) Mr. Taylor: I am surprised at you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Oldman The Chairman did not have any. The Chairman: Neither did Mr. Oldman. (Laughter.) Mr. Raynes I only wanted to get things out. Mr. Oldman then gave a short report of the proceedings, stating that at the outset of the conference he was not very much impressed, but towards the latter end, he felt that good work was done. All the questions dealt with were important ones, and very little time was spent with them. Mr. J. T. Taylor moved, and Mr. W. Davies seconded, that the two delegates be desired to give a report of the Conference at the next ni-ct- 1ing of the Board. The proposition, however, was lost by a large majority. KING EDWARD MEMORIAL. The whole question of the proposed Welsh memorial to the late King Edward was referred to the House Committee for consideration. RESIGNED AFTER A MONTH. Mr. Walter S. Jones, who at the previous meeting was appointed porter at the Workhouse, sent in his resignation to take effect in a month. A discussion ensued, after which it was de- cided that ihiee members of the Board should interview the porter on the matter. This was done, and Mr. Mc Clement reported that he would not re-consider his decision, ow- ing to. several reasons. He suggested that a Committee should make arrangements for the duties ot the porter in future. On the motion of Mr. O. W. Roberts, the resignation was accepted, and it wa" decided to invite th? next two applicants on the list to attend the meeting of the House Committee. HOSPITAL AND PAUPER CASES. Mr. 0 W. Roberts remarked that the Guard- ians had an agreement with the Llandudno hospital for taking in pauper patients, and inas- much as the J01 it Hospital Board had been formed, and that there was already a hospital establishment at Colwyn Bay, he moved that the Board seek to enter into agreements with the Joint Board and h Colwyn Bay Council for the admission of pauper patients at agreed fees. The question was referred to the Finance Com- mittee. FINANCES. The deputy Clerk reported that the balance at the bank that day after paying outstanding cheques was /32S2 9s. 3d. PRECEPT. The Clerk reported that he had received the precept from the Carnarvon County Council at gid. in the C, being a half penny in the £ more 2 than he had estimated. It was decided to approve of the estimate, sub- ject to the necessary alterations indicated by the Clerk. OLD COLWYN NURSING ASSOCIATION. The Relieving Officer reported on the visits of the Distiict Nurse to persons in receipt of Poor Law Reliei in tha parishes of Eirias and Llys- faen. It was resolved that a subscription of £5 3s. be granted subject to the approval of he Local Government Board, and that the Nursing Associ- ation be informed that the Guardians will be pleased if they can see their way to attend all Poor Law cases as far as Llysiaen Church THE HEATING OF THE HOUSE. Mr. J. T. Taylor moved that the contractor's bill for the heating apparatus of the house be passed for payment. Now that the work had been finished the question arose as to what the total cost would be, and he was glad to say that there would not be a penny extra in regard to the heating contractor. They estimated 4iat the assistance 'rom a Guilder x,oiild come to £40, but they Avoeld find that his amounted to ^54. That was accounted for by several alterations which were made The Committee ijnsidered they had had full value for their money. There they had had full value for their money. There had been a test of the heating apparatus and the Committee were ot opinion xhat it would be a complete success. They :.ad everv confidence that the work hid been done satisfactory. The Engineer also suggested the question of pro- viding new cooking arrangements by steam, which would saA'e a great deal of waste. It would also be more safe for the inmates who had to a.-iii A in the cooking. With the tremend- ous fires and the boilers at present in the house, the inmates were in d": ger of being scalded or burnt. The Committee, therefore, asked the Engineer to prepare a scheme and submit a tender, but he was given to understand that the Committee were acting on their own initiative. The scheme was examined, but the Committee made no report, and they threw the onus of going further into it on the Board. Mr. O. W. Roberts seconded the payment of the bill. Mr. Raynes asked for the opinion of the Com- mittee on this proposed cooking scheme. Mr. O. W. Roberts replied that they had no opinion, and they thought it a waste of time to consider it before it came to the Board. Mrs. Oldman said she was not at all satisfied with the new scheme although she appreciated the spirit in which it was presented. The scheme was not exactly what they required, and it was not worth tle amount it would cost. There was no doubt that steam cooking would be a great boon in the house. The Chairman endorsed all that had been said about the heating apparatus, and said that the contractor had done his work very well indeed. As to the cooking apparatus that Avould be a great saving. Mr. W. F. Jones said that after hearing the Heating Committee speak, he would be pleased to propose a vote of thanks to them in six months time, after a practical test of the apparatus. (Laughter Mr. Taylor: We will live in hope. The proposition was carried Mr .Raynes: I think Ave ought to thank Mrs. Oldman for going 'nto the matter and finding out the scheme is not a good one.

Conway Rural District Council. ROEWEN WATER SUPPLY. A LADY'S APPEAL. The monthly meeting of the Rural Council was held at Conway on Friday. Mr. Hugh Owen presided, and the other members present were Messrs. J. W. Raynes, Edward Williams, Robert Ellis, Hugh Davies (Gors'wen), Richard Jones, Thomas Williams, W. F. Jones, Robert Roberts, E. J. Evans, David Jones, Owen Wil- liams and Rev. W. Phillips with the Clerk (Mr. T. E. Parry), the Inspector (Mr. Levi John) and the Road Surveyor (Mr. John Davies |. FINANCIAL. The Clerk reported that on that day there was a credit balance in respect of the Conway district of ^645 17s. id., and in respect of the Glan Conway district of £ .2qy os. Sd. ROENVI. N WATER SUPPLY. DRINKING FROM THE RIVER. The Chairman anounced that he had given his consent during the week to a deputation to be received from Roewen respecting the water supply of that village. A letter was read from Mr. J. Hartley Bibby, Plasynroe, Roewen, re the proposed water supply for Roewen. He stated that whilst ap- preciating Mrs. Holland's kind and philan- thropic appeal to have Roewen supplied by water, he thought in justice to the numerous farmers who would not benefit bv such a sup- ply that the water should be charged by meter. He suggested that the Roewen school should be supplied and charged by meter to the Local Education Authority, that the two hydrants it was proposed to place in Roewen should be rated by meter and paid for by voluntary con- tributions, that residents who wish to be sup- plied should be charged by meter and be re- sponsible to the Rural Council. It seemed to the writer that it was eminently unfair that residents who had at their own expense sup- plied themselves with water, and farmers who could not possibly benefit by such a scheme, should be asked to pay a water rate (however small), and he felt certain that if such water rate was added to the Caerhun parish rates, it would be strongly opposed. Mr. W. Douglas Jones, agent of the Caerhun estate, also wrote stating that Mrs. Holland had asked him to form one of a deputation to present a petition to the Council in favour of a pure water supply for Roewen. He was not able to do so owing to other arrangements, but he expressed a hope that if the Council could see their way to bring such a. supply to the village they should do so without delay, as he was given to understand that the present sup- ply was unfit for drinking purposes. He was given to understand also that there would be an objection on the score of expense, but sure- ly the rate in the £ would be so small that it would outweigh the objection. He wrote this as one deeply interested in the welfare of the district, and he ventured to hope that Mrs. Holland's efforts would be crowned with success. The Chairman remarked that the Rural Council tried to meet the wishes of the parishes in the matter, and they would not commit them themselves to any great expense without the consideration of the ratepayers. Mr. Robert Ellis said a letter was received sometime ago from the Cowlyd Board with reference to the supplying of water to outside districts, and that letter was referred to the Parish Councils. The parish of Caerhun re- commended that the Rural Council should act as agents to collect the water rates. The Chairman said the letter from the Cow- lyd Board was to see whether there was anv sign of the parishes joining. If the parishes -es accepted it, it would be necessary for the board to consider their water shed and to make it larger. The Clerk said that was so. Mr. Edward Williams asked whether thev were compelled to meet these people with a proper supply of water. The Clerk You are the authority to see to it, and if there is sufficient rateable" value, the Local Government Board will compel vou to supply it. After further discussion, the Clerk suggested it would be best to receive the deputation and consider the matter in a month's time. Mr. Robert Roberts was making several in. quiries. The Clerk: You are now discussing a thing that you know nothing about. I know nothing about it yet. (Laughter.) it. Mr. Robert Roberts I am going to oppose The Clerk Then you intend opposing a thing before you know anything about it. The Council then decided to invite the deputation, which was headed by Mrs. Holl- and, Gell, Llanbedr. Mrs. Holland presented a lengthy petition, signed by fifty-five villagers and landowners of the district. There was no water at the Roe- wen schools, and in her opinion Council schools should not be allowed to be without water. There were 115 to 120 children in the school and they Avere drinking water from the river into which garbage and refuse was thrown. That had been tackled bv the Parish Council, and people were forbidden to throw the refuse. There was, however, nowhere to put refuse, and the people naturally threw it to the nearest place. She had received the fol- lowing letter from Dr. R. Arthur Prichard, Medical Officer of the Conway Union:—"I was very pleased to hear of the great interest and trouble you are tahing in trving to have a pure water supply for your neighbourhood, especially to the schools of Roewen. I am astonished that the Education Authority has been so negligent in not seeing that there is a supply of pure water, that and pure air being the most important element in their school train- ing, and am sure if reported to the proper quarter, somebody would get into trouble. And as regards Roewen, in these sanitarv davs, one wonders how such a state of things' is allowed to exist. They had some experience of typhoid some years ago, due, in my opinion, to polluted water, and it they had another epidemic, per- haps they would move when too late. I sin- cerely hope that your kind efforts will be crowned with success, and eyervbod v in the neighbourhood should move and act in such a worthy object for the sake of common human- ity." Another also came from the Carnarvon Education Committee, who stated that they would do all they could, without prejudicing themselves to any specified sum, to "try and have water in the schools. Most probably, contiued Mrs. Holland, water would have to be supplied and paid for by the ratepayers. If the Council visited Roewen, they would find that it was not fit to live there, and it prevented visitors from going there. Visitors would not go to a place if there was no water supply. She had also heard from the Llandudno Engineer about the matter. She had ascer- tained that if the rate fell on the whole parish it would be barely one penny in the £ and when they come to think of it, that was a very small rate. She believed that the only objec- tion to the application was on account of the rate. The Chairman Do you think you can get a supply from the Llandudno Council. Mrs. Holland: Yes, Mr. Stephenson promised so, if the Rural Council applied for it. The letter of the Llandudno Engineer to Mrs. Holland was read, and in which he stated that the Council would be prepared to consider an application from the Rural Council for a supply of water by meter from the Llandudno nine-inch main the laying of the mains and distribution of the water to be undertaken by the Rural Council. He might add that the estimate for a three inch main to the schools would be f27C) for length of 890 yards, or if it was continued opposite Zion Chapel in the village, a total length of 1450 yards, the cost of the mains would be Z43- Mrs. Holland said she also had a personal application to the Council for the permission to erect a standpipe near Llanbedr Church at her own expense. It would not interfere with a public road at all. The Chairman said the Council were not in a position to consider the matter that day, but would do so in a month's time. The Council always tried to do its best to meet the wishes of the different parishes. Mrs. Holland said it would have to come some time or other. When it came to a ques- tion of rates, she should like to mention that she always understood that rates were for the good of the neighbourhood and they all paid a certain proportion. She paid rates for the schools although she sent no children there, and she thought water should be treated in the same way as the education. She was greatly inter- ested in the welfare of the neighbourhood, and especially the children who attended the school. According to Dr. Prichard's letter there will be an epidemic, and then there would be a move- ment when it was too late. Mr. Raynes asked what was the cost of the water proposed to be supplied, and Mrs. Hol- land replied that .it was is. 6d. per 1.000 gal- lons. r Mr. Robert Ellis mentioned that there was no water at the Talybont School. Mrs. Holland said she spoke to the school- master there, who told her that application was being made in the matter. She would be quite as glad to do as much as she could there as well, but RoeAven appeared to her to be very much neglected, and she considered this matter very urgent. Mr. Robert Ellis That is rather a serious charge to make against the Council. Mrs. Holland added that she considered there ought to be some arrangement with the Cowlyd Board to supply the water. She had asked Tal- ybont whether they would join in the petition, but they replied that they were acting indr- pendently. The Chairman then announced that the milt'-r would be considered at the next meeting, aLd the deputation then withdrew. LLYSFAEN MATTERS. A letter was read from the Office of Wood's with reference to Penmaenrhos paths. They stated that unleso a definite acceptance of the proposals set out in the letter of the 13th June was received in a month from that date, the negotiations must be regrrded as closed, and Sir Stafford Howard would proceed in accord- ance with the strict legal rights of the Crown. He might point out that the result of this would be that the gateway at Tanypenmaen will not be moved and. no proper path would be made down to the seashore Both paths leading up to the headland would be closed, and also that leading from the bottom oc the steps to the road leading past Eiilas-terrace, but as regards the latter^ path in order to prevent trespass across the C rown land a rough path would probably be made, and ihis the Council will be at liberty to maintain if they desired to do so. lhe C ojncil decided to appoiat a deputation to wait upon Sir Stafford Howard with leference to this and other matters relating to the parish of Llysfaen. PRECEPTS. On the recommendations of the Finance Committee it was decided to pay the balance of the precept of the Conway Rural Council amounting to £ 600, and the Glan Conway Council amounting to £ 100 to the Cowlvd Board. PENRHYX WATER SUPPLY. The Inspector reported as follows with refer- ence to the above question:—" I have made a careful inspection and examination of the 3-inch, pipe from the trunk main at Pensarn to Glan- wydden, a length of about 4000 yards. The pressure at Pensarn was 174 lbs. and at Glan- wydden only 5° lbs. The volume of water at Glamvyddea was about one-third of that at Pen- sarn. There is no evidence of any considerable leakage except a little at two of the sluice valves, which would not account for the tremendous decrease in the volume at Glanwydden. After carefully considering the question- of scraping this pipe on the inside, I think it could not be done at the very lowest under £ 300, and am afraid that any relief obtained in this way would only be temporary and not satisfactory for Pen- rhynside, but daresay I can improve the supply if the Council Avill grant me permission to I ut the pipes in three or four places at some of the worst points, and do what we can with the drain rods and thoroughly flush them out after- wards. It was now decided to adopt the suggested remedy of the Borough Engineer of Conway, to clean the pipes in the LJangwstenin district at the expense of Penrhynside. GLAN CONWAY SCHOOL. A Sub-Committee met at Glan Conwav to interview Mr. W B. Jones-Mortimer, re the pro- posed additions and alterations at the Glan Con. v ay Schools. After considering all the circum- stances and matters discussed by them at the interview, the Committee still thought that the items suggested by them shoud be embodied as part of the improvements, and beg to recom- mend the Council to adhere to their previous resolution, viz., That the existing pail closets be converted into the trough water system with an automatic flushing tank. That the sewage be treated in a properly constructed septic taTIk before being discharged into the river, to im- prove the Aentilator on the ridge: and Tobin's tubes in the walls of the new classroom to en- sure thorough and efficient yentilation." This report was adopted. THE ALUMINIUM CORPORATION. The Council ha-e accepted 25 preference shares in the Aluminium Corporation, Ltd., in full settlement of the Council's claim against the Company. VARIOUS MATTERS. The Road Surveyor reported that the danger- n",dPart h Adda-road, Dolgarrog, had teen made good, and was safe for traffic. The Council decided that an annual rent of 2S. 6a. be charged Mr. Edward Edwards, Llys Owen, for a piece of waste land which he had enclosed without permission at Bronwylfa Hill. TIMBER TRAFFIC. The Surveyor reported that he could not sav the roads were very bad as the result of timber traffic, but the traction engine traffic neces- sitated some extra manual labour. The roads generally were in fairly good order, with the exception of about 40 yards between Toppan and Bodnact Ucha'. r
